Island capital as a sun resort (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nassau

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'island capital' is the definition.
'Nassau' can be an answer for 'capital' (capital of the Bahamas). I'm not sure about the 'island' bit.

'as a sun resort' is the wordplay.
'resort' indicates anagramming the letters (re-sort the letters).
'as'+'a'+'sun'='asasun'
'asasun' with letters rearranged gives 'NASSAU'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nassau that I've seen before include "Saunas (anag)" , "city" , "Dublin street in the Bahamas?" , "Caribbean resort" , "Capital of the Bahamas" .)
